Nicolas Cage in Longlegs
The Big Picture Nicolas Cage’s performance in Longlegs is unsettling and bound to get under your skin. The vision of the titular character will haunt your dreams long after the credits roll. Collaborating with director Osgood Perkins, Cage manages to create one of the most memorable horror villains of the 21st century, particularly through his physical appearance and unnatural mannerisms.
Release Date July 12, 2024 Director Oz Perkins Cast Maika Monroe , Nicholas Cage , Alicia Witt , Blair Underwood Runtime 101 Minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Oz Perkins Studio C2 Motion Picture Group , Saturn Films Distributor Neon Expand Nicolas Cage's Longlegs Is Different From Other Movie Serial Killers Longlegs is on-screen immediately, although many of his features are hidden — most notably his eyes.
2 The reveal of Cage’s character being gross and weird, showing a man who is clearly alienated and unpalatable, is so far from well-known figures within the subgenre. The likes of Patrick Bateman and Hannibal Lector have a pointed composure, whereas Longlegs feels much more erratic and abnormal. There is one scene where Longlegs goes into a convenience store and the teenage girl at the checkout is clearly repulsed as opposed to scared.
Longlegs could not be further from what Cage has done before. The aforementioned roles highlight how Cage is known for leaving everything he has in a movie, he fully commits to a role. Longlegs shows that commitment in a totally new light. Cage’s take on the serial killer is more reserved and inverted. He still manages to fully embody the character, but the intention is very difficult to read.
